The process of receiving and representing stimulus energies by the nervous system is called?
The process of receiving and representing stimulus energies by the nervous system is called sensory transduction. This is where sensory receptors convert physical or chemical stimulus energy into electrical signals that can be transmitted and processed by the brain.
What is sensation in psychology?
Sensation is defined as the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment.
How is pain transmitted?
Nerve cell endings, or receptors, are at the front end of pain sensation. A stimulus at this part of the nociceptor unleashes a cascade of neurotransmitters (chemicals that transmit information within the nervous system) in the spine.
How are stimulus converted into a sensation?
sense organ
The detection and encoding of stimulus energies by the nervous system is called?
Sensation. This process involves the sensory organs detecting stimuli from the environment and converting them into neural signals that can be processed by the brain.
Is analgesia a condition of no nervous sensation?
no, it is anesthesia that is the condition of no nervous sensation.
What are the two functions of the nervous system?
In very general terms the functions are Sensation via the afferent fibres and Control (of movements) via the efferent fibres.
What is the system that reacts to a stimulus?
Nervous system
What is a nerve message called?
Well they are sent through the nervous system.
What is an example of integration by the nervous system?
Example: when you step on a nail, your body perceives a stimulus (change in external or internal environment) receptor is the specific thing identifying stimulus, in this case, the skin, then a nervous impulse is generated and is transmitted through a chain of neurons towards central nervous system, sent to the brain where the impulse is interpreted (integration) by the brain, brain will send off new impulse via motor neurons through spinal cord through nerve to muscle to carry out response.
What body systems are involved in reaction to a stimulus?
Fundamentally the system involved in a reaction to a stimuli is the nervous system.
What part of the nervous system is the tickling sensation?
